Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 493 | I like to laugh as well and especially at myself. But lately my friend Mark (MD50 or 20/20)has been cracking me up with such admissions that he likes to play Doctor, doesn't get kissed and will be wearing a T-back bikini in an upcoming photo shoot.
Mark, my teacher, you are just so smoove, I have so much to learn... :p
